It’s a truism that we never know what’s coming. Unless you think there’s an unstoppable supply of bunnies and rainbows in your future, there are some options and opportunities to consider. We could all stand to sharpen our powers of observation.
In the past, it was a common practice to plant fruit trees and berry bushes for home use. During World War II, for example, anything grown at home in Victory Gardens was exempt from the rules and regulations of rationing. To help with food production in the war effort, homeowners planted gardens and grew vegetables and fruit. Home food production was popular long before the war, and it was popular afterward, too. The results of these efforts can still be found in cities and towns and across the countryside. My impression is that today most of this fruit is left unused on trees. This may present opportunities in your area.The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.

I love this, it is what I have always tried to do up here in Canada. Asparagus, service berries, black raspberries, elderberries, strawberries, rhubarb, gooseberries and horse radish all in my yard but now in a small garden. A vegetable patch is well worth it's work too. I also grow New Zealand spinach as it too is perennial and it last through a hot summer and our cold winters. I do not have the room needed for fruit trees but am trying to figure about using miniature here or grapes on the fence maybe. I miss the farm where we raised all of our food especially our meat in surplus, but I am much too old to do so now and my kids hate the work and knowledge us old folk learned from childhood. I must try growing another lemon tree in the house as I love lemons to season with they make many flavors light up and the trees add a lovely fresh scent to the house but very little production for fruit grown this way.
